Q: Is this sunscreen appropriate for someone with sensitive skin?

Yes. Daily Face Shield does not contain PABA, an ingredient found in many sunscreens which can be very irritating to the skin. Also, it doesn’t contain any perfumes or artificial colors, which can also aggravate sensitive skin.

Q: Does Daily Face Shield leave any greasy residue?

No. Daily Face Shield is a completely non-greasy sunscreen. In fact, the formulation in this sunblock is ultra sheer and extremely lightweight. It readily absorbs into your skin as soon as you apply it. You won’t feel any sticky or greasy residue typical of so many sunscreens available today.

Q: What level of protection will Daily Face Shield provide?

Because this powerful sunscreen is meant to be used on the face and body, it contains four active ingredients to provide protection against both UVB and UVA rays. Daily Face Shield contains an SPF level of 30, which means that it will block nearly 97% of harmful UVB rays. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends using a sunblock with at least SPF30.

Q: I’m very particular about what I put on my face. Sunscreen labels all seem the same; what should I check for?

Sunscreen used on the face should provide broad-spectrum protection from both UVA and UVB rays. While UVB rays are the cause of sunburns, UVA rays weaken skin’s elasticity causing it to age prematurely. Both types of rays are linked to skin cancer.

Daily Face Shield contains 4 FDA-approved “active ingredients” which provide both UVA and UVB protection. This sunblock with SPF30 also contains aloe leaf extract for added soothing and cooling. As is the case for all Sonya Dakar products, Daily Face Shield contains no parabens, lanolin, artificial colors or fragrances.

Q: Why do I need to wear sunscreen year round on my face and body?

Though common practice is to apply sunscreen on your face and body before lying by the pool, we must remember that UVB and UVA rays are always present, regardless of the time of year. Even during the cloudy days of winter, the sun still gives off harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. This is why the Skin Cancer Foundation recommends daily use of sunblock SPF 30 or higher.

Q: You describe this sunscreen as free of both paraben and lanolin. Why is that important?

Many Sunscreens made for the face often contain parabens and lanolin. Parabens are a type of preservative used widely in cosmetics and skin care products. Studies have shown that parabens may have harmful effects on the endocrine system, and may be linked to breast cancer, osteoporosis and other serious health conditions. Lanolin, which comes from wool, has been known to irritate skin, cause increased sun sensitivity and other allergic reactions.

Q: Where else is Daily Face Shield available for purchase?

This essential sunscreen for your face and body is also available at the Sonya Dakar Beverly Hills Clinic.
